Dear Tennesseans,
Our state prides itself on its' wild game, and the hunting and fishing quality of our area. The fact that exotic game (buffalo, zebra,etc.) are being brought to Tennessee or raised locally to be hunted(?) behind fences on twenty acres or more as long as it isn't cross fenced does not sound like the pride our hunters take in their catch. This kind of hunting(?) is like shooting fish in a barrel. No sport to it! Just a slaughter that cost the hunter thousands of dollars for a trophy(?).
Exotic wildlife could be detrimental to our state as well. If animals such as wild razorback boar or exotic deer or goat do escape from these small areas, the destruction to our beautiful mountains could be devastating. Does our state really want to risk our wildlife, lake areas, and stock so someone from another state can make thousands?
Hunting is a proud a honored tradition. The hunter goes home empty handed to hunt another day. Please , let's stop the slaughter no canned hunts in Tennessee. Twenty other states have already made this illegal. We believe, Tennessee should be next. Don't you? Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Give Them A Chance
